Last One Picked

listening isn’t a game,

     u respond with a gif

           one that glitches,

           never loads quite right

      but the sound of thirsty

      panting dogs wimper

            about water

            about cars

            about the clear clean

      liquid you hold in a bowl

      why isn’t it carbonated?

    picky claws dismiss themselves

in the absence of their bark,

nails scraping the concrete

repeat in this obsessive mind

Echos

Image below is of a highway blurred out with a single car headed south on a four lane road with a metal guardrail in the middle. The highway takes up the bottom half of the photo. Above the highway you see a blurry line of trees dark in color and barley defined. Beyond the trees across the photo is a row of mountains under a yellow, orange, and neon salmon pink sunset. Hovering over the almost faded sunset are thick clouds gray clouds slightly reflecting the sunset colors like a pastel wash.
